Frederic Weisbecker 5225c45899 perf: Initialize callchains roots's childen hits
Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
random values on their creation.

The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.

The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.
